Alternator output (10, 13 or 16 Amp) is determined by
flywheel alternator magnet size. Therefore, stator and
regulator-rectifier are the same for the 10 and 16 amp
system.
WHEN CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR COM-
PONENTS, MAKE THE TESTS IN THE FOLLOWING
SEQUENCE:
Alternator Output Test
1.
Insert RED test lead into
receptacle in
meter.
2.
Insert BLACK test lead into COM receptacle in
meter.
3.
Rotate selector to V~ (AC volts) position.
4.
Insert RED and BLACK test lead probes into out-
put terminals in yellow connector, as shown in
Fig. 24. (Meter test clip leads may be attached to
either terminal.)

5.
With the engine running at 3600 RPM, output
should be no less than:
*
20 Volts – 10 Amp System
*
20 Volts – 13 Amp System
*
30 Volts – 16 Amp System
*
If alternator output test indicates a 16 Amp system,
see special instructions for testing regulator-rectifier.
6.
If no or low output is found, check for bare wires or
any other obvious defects. If “shorted” leads are
not visible, replace the stator.
Regulator-Rectifier Test
NOTE: The Digital Multimeter will withstand DC
input of 10 – 20 Amps for up to 30 seconds.
When checking DC output of 16 Amp
regulated system, use DC Shunt, Tool
#19359, to avoid blowing fuse in meter.
See special instructions for installation
procedure on 16 Amp system, page 12.
NOTE: Regulator-rectifier will not function
unless it is grounded to engine. Make sure
the regulator-rectifier is securely mounted
to engine.
When testing regulator-rectifier for amperage output, a
12 volt battery with a minimum charge of 5 volts is
required. There will be no charging output if battery
voltage is below 5 volts.
NOTE: Connect test leads before starting engine.
Be sure connections are secure. If a test
lead vibrates loose while engine is running,
the regulator-rectifier may be damaged.
Testing Regulator-Rectifier
10 & 13 Amp System
1.
Insert RED test lead into 10 A receptacle in meter.
2.
Insert BLACK test lead into COM receptacle in
meter.
3.
Rotate selector to
(DC amps) position.
4.
Attach RED test lead clip to DC output terminal
on regulator-rectifier, Fig. 25.
5.
Attach BLACK test lead clip to positive (+)
battery terminal.

6.
With the engine running at 3600 RPM. The output
should be:
* 3 – 10 Amps – 10 Amp System
* 3 – 13 Amps – 13 Amp System
* Depending upon battery voltage and/or current
draw on system.
7.
If no or low output is found, be sure that regulator-
rectifier is grounded properly and all connections
